We're not sure, either.  One possibility for the freeze-up could be the
increased load put on a system by the LDM 6.  Because the products
arrive more quickly, the CPU does more processing in a given time.  This
can raise the temperature of the CPU.  If the fans aren't working
correctly, this might cause the CPU to shut-down without any warning
whatsoever.

This might sound farfetched, but we've actually seen the temperature
increase here (but without a shutdown).

Thanks.  Let's play with your configuration a little more before trying
that.
